PLASTERING SUPPORT Application filed July 30, 1929, Serial no. aliases; 'fnenew'ed Au ust 19,- 1932.

I 19 terial is adapted to adhere, whereby the same will assist in supporting the plaster and will actto retain the lath in proper position.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a preformed cementitious supporting element which may be. associated witha' with a lath, andto which lath support and plastering material will adhere, thus holding the plaster and assisting in supporting the m same. 7 5 Other objects of the present invention 1nclude the provision of a novel, simple structure which may be readily applied and which isreadily adapted to the .demands'of economic manufacture. a V 7 Other Ob ects and features f the present invention will be apparent from a consideration of the following specification taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing,

q in which 'U V Figure 1 is a plan view partly broken away showing one form of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on lines 7 2-2 of Fig. 1. Referring more particularlyto the draw- W ing, a wall structure is disclosed including 7 parallel vertical metallic lath-supporting ele:

ments 10, to which, as'in conventional prac-- tice, the metallic lathing material, as indi- 4 cated at 12, is securedwill be understood that the same may be ap plied to many varieties of the structure herein shown, and that the invention is not confined to its combination with thespecilic type of wall structure illustrated. As, for instance,

the invention is applicable to all-types of metallic lath, and is not dependent upon any specific type of'standards. The invention is thus seen to be adapted for use in connection in connection with the present invention it? 'ing 12 and the block 14.

forms ofplastering supports for both wall and ceiling construction.-

1 'lhe-plastering'support of he present in-, yention-includes a preformed block 14, which is illustrated as preferably elongated, and in-' eludes sloping sides which provide a; maximum lath-engaging surface 15. .The block 14 is reinforced by acast-in, angularly-cbent, reinforcing element 1.6, the ends 17 of whicheXtend from the ends-of the block to be, bent. to engage the members 10, or their equiva lents, the arrangementheing such that the block may be easily connected with the memligrs 10, whereby its surface 15 abuts the lath 'lhe-block 'l4 maybe formed of anysuitable material to which the plaster, indicatedby the numeral 18, may adhere,.such as metal or, cementitious material as here disclosed, and

'is preferablyform'ed, of cementitious ma- "I0- terial. I The reinforcing element 16 ispreferably formedof strong steel wire and is preferably cast with the block 14. p It will be understood that the'invention' is not confined to the specific materials herein; J desired, noris the invention specially confined to the type of reinforcing el-ementfherein shown- The invention primarilyresides 1 in the provision of a reinforcing block to which plastic material may adhere, and 0 which includes means for securing the'block in abutting relation to lathing material.

As shown in Fig.1, the block 14 may be arranged in any desired'manner, preferably in break-joint position, thus providing the maximum support for the plaster and forthe lathing with which it is associated.

From t e foregoing it will be readily seen s that when/plaster is applied to the lathing material it will pass therethrough for ad- 0', herence with the block 14, thus rigidly securing in'proper relation the plaster 18, the lath- In connection with the present invention it i .willbe further understood that in many in- 5 stances the securing of the lath IS'LlIlSlllllLblG and thatafter the duration of time the lathmg with its plaster18 will fall from its support. The present invention provides anadditional remforcing and supporting means, 109 a the securing elements 17 of the block being of materially stronger material than is possible to use in conjunction with the securing of the lath 12 to the members 10.

The invention thus provides a novel and improved structure and supporting element for plastering material. It will be understood that numerous changes and modifications of the present invention may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention as outlined in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. The combination with a lath-supporting structure, of a plaster-supporting ele ment supportedthereby in abutment with the lath supported by said structure, said element including a plaster-engaging surface to which the plaster may adhere, and reinforcing means extending through said element.

2. The combination with a lath-supporting structure, of a plaster-supporting element supported thereby in abutment with the lath supported by said structure, said element including a plaster-engaging surface to which the plaster may adhere, and reinforcing means extending through said element and extending therefrom to secure said element with said 1ath-supporting structure.

3. A plastering support, including a block and means for retaining said block adjacent to lathing material, said means includ ing a reinforcing member extending through said block and protruding therefrom to engage a lath-supporting structure.

4. A plaster support, including a preformed plastic body and means extending therefrom for engaging said body with a latlrsupporting structure, said means ex- 40 tendingthrough said bodyto reinforce the same and being angularly' disposed within said body to extend transversely thereof.
